Two pilots couldn't hand fly. The Pitot system failed. They did not use the loss of airspeed checklist but pulled up 11 degrees into a full stall. Everybody knows you can not pull up to an 11 degree attitude at FL350 but they did. Now they hold this full nose up attitude for over three minutes until impact with the ocean. The captain that can hand fly comes up in the last minute and sees something he has seen before. Full stall, full back side stick and it is too late. Why do airlines hire these computer operator button pushers? Botom line always says hire the low time guys because they will fly cheap. It ain't cheap when you dump an airbus in the ocean with about 250 souls on board. This crash was so avoidable with a competent crew.
